Took a break from the outside world last night and brought my kid to The Who’s (actual final, they swear it’s final) goodbye tour in Chicago. Happy to report Roger still has his voice and Pete is still thrilling on the guitar.
It was fun with some tender moments 🥰

I’ve never seen the Millennium Park lawn this crowded — we had to make our own lawn on the edge!

So cool to be in the 100th anniversary photo for the Uptown Theatre, Chicago’s gem, in need of restoration.
Let’s do this!
Great to see @robertloerzel.bsky.social and get his new book w/ James A. Pierce signed. (And take it home on a Vespa born two years before the Uptown’s last show in 1981!)
